I had a bad habit of playing with my lashes whenever nervous/worried, to the point where I'd pull them out. I now currently have noticeable gaps where lashes once were and I use liquid eyeliner daily to hide the gaps. Would using Latisse promote growth of the missing lashes in the 'bald' areas????

Answer: Pulling out eyelashes - Trichotillomania
Pulling out eyelashes or eyebrows or other hair follicles while nervous or excited, is called Trichotillomania. I would suggest two things: 1. if you haven't already been evaluated or treated for Trichotillomania, you do that first. Because if the Latisse does work, you might be more inclined to pull on your lashes and cause more harm. 2. Latisse only works on active hair follicles, so you might want to be evaluated and see if you do indeed still have active follicles in the missing gaps. Assuming you do, the Latisse will work fine and fill in the gaps.

Answer: Regrowing eyelashes with Latisse
Latisse works by increasing the amount of time each eyelash hair remains in the growing phase so you need to have a living hair follicle to see growth of the missing lashes. You won't know if it will work unless you give it a try and refrain from pulling any more lashes. On a more personal note, ten years ago my wife lost all of her eyelashes due to allergies, none of which regrew. After using Latisse for approximately one year, she has now regrown the majority of her eyelashes.
